Fremantle Football Club drafting and trading history

Fremantle Football Club's drafting and trading history is often cited as a reason for their poor on-field record, in not winning a finals game in their first 11 seasons.

Phil Smart was the recruiting manager at Fremantle from when they were formed in 1994 until 2008,[1] remaining at the club until the end of 2009 as their draft manager,[2] with Brad Lloyd being appointed the national recruitment manager.[3]
